I'm not counting out any team right now in the NL except for the Nats, Bucs and SD. I have serious concerns about our team, always do, but those concerns pale in comparison to other teams out there. The Brewers rotation still sucks IMO. The Cards have both bullpen and rotation issues, along with injuries. The Reds are still unproven, though their pitching is solid. The Astros suck. All I'm saying is that while we aren't as good as some would lead us to believe, we're still in better shape than most. My biggest concerns are with the bullpen, the health of Z and Aramis and Fontenot's struggles. I think Bradley and Soto are coming around. The bullpen in many ways is showing signs of stabilizing. I dunno, I'm just becoming a lot more patient with this team and with baseball in general.
